Bloody Poetry
''Bloody Poetry'' is a 1984 play by Howard Brenton centring on the lives of Percy Shelley and his circle. The play had its roots in Brenton's involvement with the small touring company Foco Novo and was the third, and final, show he wrote for them. The initial idea was that Brenton should write a piece based on the life of Shelley, though Brenton was more interested in looking, not at the individual, but at the quartet of Percy, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron and Byron's mistress Claire Clairmont, tying it in with Utopian themes appropriate to the revolutionary spirit of the protagonists. In his introduction to the play Brenton disclaims any interest in moralising over the actions of his characters, as he had in a programme to his earlier play '' Weapons of Happiness''. The play takes as its epigraph a comment of Richard Holmes's, “Shelley's life seems more a haunting than a history.” Stage history ''Bloody Poetry'' was first performed at the Haymarket Theatre Leicester on 1 O ...

The Judas Kiss (play)
''The Judas Kiss'' is a 1998 play by David Hare about Oscar Wilde's scandal and disgrace at the hands of his young lover Bosie (Lord Alfred Douglas). Plot ''Act 1: London, 1895'' Oscar Wilde's spoiled and impetuous young lover Bosie has succeeded in instigating Wilde to sue Bosie's father in court for insulting him as a "sodomite". The loss of the suit opens the way for Wilde being criminally indicted for gross indecency. Wilde has tacit government permission to flee the country to avoid arrest, trial, and imprisonment, but the childish Bosie insists that he stay and defend their honour. ''Act 2: Italy, 1897'' Wilde is doing the one thing his friends wanted him to avoid, namely reuniting with the unbelievably selfish Bosie after his difficult two-year incarceration. Wilde, a broken man, is holed up in exile from the UK in a rat-infested hotel in Naples.
